i know what the difference is


i was just saying the MAYBE he is experiencing torque steer.

i never experienced understeer in my celica

i guess i never really raced hard on the twisties either.

and if i did, the tires would just spin from the turbo power.

just one other question SiKBOY

do you have a LSD?

If you do, that would significantly increase understeer.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I dont think i have LSD. How can you tell if you do?.

The torque in my car has been increased from the SAFC tune and when my girlfriend drove it, she said that it felt like she was driving in the rain and it felt like something was wrong with the car. I do get a bit of that automatic lane changing thing going when changing gears but not as much as some of my mates turbo cars.

I got my wheel alignment done but havent driven the car hard yet so I cant report on if it has helped with the understeer problem. I asked the guy to change the camber but he couldnt find the bolts to adjust the camber settings. Can anyone point me in the right direction? He also said that 2 degrees is quite a lot of camber and the insides of the tires would wear quite quickly. I dont know if I can trust him especially since he cant find the camber adjustment bolts

I doubt you do... but here's how you can check:

Jack up the car... spin one of the wheels... if they both spin together... then you have LSD... if they don't... then you don't have LSD...


I'm pretty sure this is one way to check...

LSD is a VERY good thing

lets say for instance that you are on a slippery surface and you hit the gas. both wheels win spin. but if you have LSD then through a series of clutches and gears it transfers the power to the wheel with the most grip. it also helps with launches with high powered FWD cars.

Nah, I dont have LSD. Once the cv shaft popped out on one side and the car wouldnt move, even though the other side was fine.
